Bootcamp/Bodyweight HIIT Workout

Bootcamp/Bodyweight HIIT workout is yet another awesome workout from Yvette Bachman. I loved this one!

Chest/Triceps Cardio Circuit

Chest/Triceps Cardio Circuit is a cardio + strength circuit workout that alternates chest or tricep strength exercises with cardio bursts. Cardio + strength workouts are my absolute favorite types of workouts and Yvette Bachman continues to deliver some of the best I have ever done. Between yesterday's workout (Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back) and … Continue reading Chest/Triceps Cardio Circuit

Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back

Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back is another excellent cardio + strength workout from Yvette Bachman. Though "back" is in the title, it didn't get a lot of work--at least compared to the work that legs and shoulders received. But it does get some work. I really enjoyed this workout. It is fun like all … Continue reading Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back

HIIT/Heavy Weights/Stability Ball

HIIT/Heavy Weights/Stability Ball is another one of Yvette Bachman's long but excellent workouts. But luckily it has two distinct parts so it is easy to cut this down to approximately an hour in length. It is primarily strength + cardio but there is also a good bit of stability ball cardio/core/hamstring work at the end. … Continue reading HIIT/Heavy Weights/Stability Ball

Barlates: Upper & Lower Drop Sets

As soon as I saw that Linda Wooldridge was filming Drop Sets workouts I was very excited. She did these workouts one by one and released clips of each workout on YouTube as she did them (links to each clip are included below in each review, and here is a clip to the two disk set, but … Continue reading Barlates: Upper & Lower Drop Sets

HIIT, Step, Heavy Leg (& Bicep) Work

The title of this workout is actually HIIT, Step, Heavy Leg Work but I added the word bicep because you get as much bicep work as you do leg work. And I wouldn't classify the leg work as heavy though the bicep work is. This is one of Yvette Bachman's longer workouts--76 minutes! But like … Continue reading HIIT, Step, Heavy Leg (& Bicep) Work

Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits

Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits is another awesome cardio + strength circuit workout from Yvette Bachman. In fact, it is very similar to her circuit workout that I did yesterday: Moderate Impact & Heavy Weights. In fact, today's workout worked my chest and triceps and yesterday's workout worked my biceps, upper back and shoulders. So they work together … Continue reading Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits

Moderate Impact & Heavy Weights

Moderate Impact & Heavy Weights is another excellent workout from Yvette Bachman. This is a circuit based cardio + strength workout. Each circuit contains 1 minute cardio followed by 8-12 reps of strength training followed by 30 seconds of core. You keep repeating that circuit the entire workout until the very end in which you … Continue reading Moderate Impact & Heavy Weights

HIIT, Cardio Core, Weights and Bosu ball

HIIT, Cardio Core, Weights and Bosu Ball was a super intense workout from Yvette Bachman. I was really working hard during this workout and I was worn out by the end of it! I was inspired by the fact that Yvette wears weighted gloves in just about every one of her workouts--making them even more … Continue reading HIIT, Cardio Core, Weights and Bosu ball
